Thunder and Lightning

We don't get many thunderstorms here in Oregon. At least not in the Willamette Valley. We did tonight though. It blew in around 5pm and boomed and crackled for a bit. Another storm is supposed to blow in later this evening.

Danelle had the kids by herself for most of the evening. I had a public meeting for one of my projects at work. I actually got home a little early since we closed the meeting early on account of the storm. Sounds like the kids were fine with it all, ecept that Kellen still wanted to go outside and water the flowers and garden. I got home just in time for the bath and bedtime routine, and to see the end of the hockey game. So I was pretty thankful for the storm. I like to hear the thunder, and I got to be home earlier than I thought I would be AND got to see the end of the hockey game.

Since the kids were wound up from not getting to go outside, Danelle got them to calm down by popping some popcorn. Both of the kids really enjoy that treat. Kellen was being silly about it. I asked him if he ate popcorn and he said 'no' and shook his head and smiled and giggled. Kind of like when I ask him if he has a poopy diaper.
